C-x o is moving between frames. [Was: Stop frames stealing eachothers' minibuffers!]

Hello, Eli.

I'll deal with the (few) points in your last mail separately, but for
now ....

They almost take care of themselves.  Almost, but not quite.  I've had a
closer look at minibuffer-only frames, and it feels like I'm opening
Pandora's box[*].  Even in the unchanged master branch, I get this:

(i) emacs -Q --exec "(push '(minibuffer . nil) initial-frame-alist)" ;
this creates two frames, one without a minibuffer, the other which _is_
a minibuffer.
(ii) C-x b
(iii) C-x o can now move point between the two frames.  This feels
wrong.  Surely C-x o should move between windows within a single frame.

previously confined troubles upon the world.
